Ooe Yofukuten(short hand O.A.). Ooe is a tiny Japanese brand you've never heard of makingthe very best stuff you can imagine. In general, their styles tend to beinspired by vintage and historical workwear. But when I say"workwear", we're not talking about flannels and Red Wings; we'retalking old styles. cinch-back pants, heavyoveralls, loopwheel knits, and work jackets. Ooe Yofukuten is owned, run, and staffed (entirely) by(husband) Ryohei Ooe and (wife) Hiroko Ooe. Ryo makes thepatterns and cuts, and Hiro sews. That's it. Ooe has a deep passion for vintage clothing and thehistory of garments. In their workshop, they make everything on pre-1930s UnionSpecial and Singer sewing machines, the oldest dating back as far as 1890. For their patterns and designs, Ryo and Hiroko buy and find vintage andhistorical garments and reproduce (sometimes with slight updates andmodifications) them using original machines and manufacturing techniques, aswell as custom fabrics and hardware. They are both completely self-taught,having no background in garment manufacturing at all, but rather learning bydoing. Ooe Yofukuten is based in Ichinomiya, Aichi prefecture, Japan. Ichinomiyaspecifically is renowned for its woven textiles and knits, particularly wool.There are many mills operating within the city, and Ooe works with several toproduce their fabrics. Every pair of Ooe jeans only touches two pairs of hands from start tofinish. As I mentioned above, Ryo makes the patterns and cuts the fabrics, andHiro sews, in an almost amusing callback to their former professions. Ryohandles the structure, and Hiro connects everything. Their patterns are based on vintage jeans from the archive of vintageclothing Ryo and Hiro have collected over the years. They take these antiquegarments and reproduce the pattern, sometimes slightly modifying and improvingupon it, and then producing based on the updated or original pattern. Becauseof this, Ooe's styles often move past vintage, and into historicalterritory, with styles in production that are very rarely or never seen todayotherwise. The production is very limited by nature, and they have developed aninternational cult following over the years. When you hold a pair of OoeYofukuten jeans, it may take a moment to notice the subtle details. The fabricis just like a pair of vintage Levi’s, the needlework is flawless, and thebuttonholes are absolute perfection - each a mark of the craft of Ryo and Hiro. Ooe Yofukuten denim is rarely found only in stores in Japan.
